Larry Ellis Invitational… TCNJ was also well represented at the Larry Ellis Invitational hosted
by Princeton University with the Lions shining in the women’s 800

Junior Stephanie Herrick (Wayne, NJ/Wayne Valley) finished third in the race with an automatic NCAA time of 2:10.44 and teammate Jianna Spadaccini (Butler, NJ/Butler) was 14th with a NCAA provisional time of 2:14.75. Freshman Meryl Wimberly (Farmingdale, NJ/Colts Neck) added to the strong showing in the event taking 20th in the large field with an ECAC worthy time of 2:15.75.

Junior Martine McGrath (West Long Branch, NJ/Shore Regional) added a fifth-place finish in the 5,000 meters with a time of 17:55.06. That time met ECAC standards.
